BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to a lint roller holder. There are many previously known lint roller holders which rotatably support a tubular cylindrical lint roller. These previously known holders typically include a lint roller support and a longitudinally aligned handle. With a lint roller mounted onto the lint roller support section, the handle is used to roll the lint roller along the surface to be cleaned.

One previously known lint roller holder is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,055,695 to McKay, Jr., which issued on May 2, 2000. In this previously known lint roller holder included a pair of elongated housing parts. Furthermore, each housing part included both a semi-cylindrical lint roller support section and an elongated handle section Longitudinally adjacent to the lint roller support section. When the housing parts are placed together in a facing relationship, the two semi-cylindrical lint roller support sections form a cylindrical lint roller support while the handle section together form a handle.

In order to secure the housing parts together, this previously known lint roller holder included a plurality of pins and matching recesses molded to the interior of each housing part. When the two housing parts are positioned together in a facing relationship, the pins on one housing part are received within and secured to the recesses on the other housing part.

These previously known lint roller holders, while effective in operation, lacked the ability to support other sizes of lint rolls, limiting their use because the previously known lint roller holders were designed only to support one size lint roll and more than likely having to be replaced by a different size lint roller holder rendering the current lint roller of no use.

Another disadvantage of the previously known lint roller holders is that in order to accommodate other sizes of lint rolls a different lint roller holder would have to be designed and manufactured. Typically, such lint roller holders are made of plastic material and formed by injection molding. Consequently, the raw material that would be consumed having to make multiple size lint roller holders increase the overall cost of the plastic material used during the molding process.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides a lint roller holder that overcomes all the above-mentioned disadvantages of the previously known lint roller holders.

The lint roller holder of the present invention comprises a pair of elongated housing part which are substantially identical to each other. Each housing part includes an elongated handle section and a cylindrical lint roller support section longitudinally adjacent to the handle section.

The housing parts are secured together in a facing relationship, such that the outer peripheral edge of both the cylindrical lint roller support sections and the handle section abut against each other to respectively form a cylindrical lint roller support and a handle. The handle and the lint roller support are then secured by the use of medal screws to the screw mounts located inside the housing of both the lint roller support sections and the handle.

Furthermore, the present invention includes a medium size and a large size attachment that when longitudinally slid over the handle support section to a predetermined position and is temporarily locked in place with a locking pin that is permanently affixed to the end of each attachment, allowing the handle support section to except more than one size lint roll.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

With reference first to FIG.1, 1 being a Lint Roller Handle with a Lint Roller Support Section adjacent to the handle, 27 being an attachment, Sleeve, 31 being an attachment, End Cap, 36 being an attachment, Expansion Ring, 39A, and 39B, being two Locking Pins is a layout of each part of a preferred embodiment of the lint roller holder of the present invention is shown. Each part is preferably made out of plastic by injection molding and each part of the preferred embodiment of the lint roller holder of the present invention and their functions will be described in detail starting with FIG.2

Now referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the handle 6, and the lint roller support section 7 of the preferred embodiment of the lint roller holder of the present invention is shown. The lint roller holder 1 includes two elongated housing parts 2, and 3, which are preferable substantially identical with each other. Each housing part 2, and 3, includes an elongated handle section 6, and a cylindrical lint roller support section 7, longitudinally adjacent to the handle section 6.

FIG. 3, shows three outer screw entry points, two located on the handle 6 of housing part 3, at points 10 and 11, and one located on the lint roller support section 7 of housing part 3 at point 12, on the outside portion of the housing part 3.

FIG. 4, where housing part 3 shows three inner screw entry brackets with ridge supports on each side, two located in the handle 6 at point 10, and 11, and one located in the lint roller support section 7, at point 12, and where housing part 2, shows three inner receiving screw brackets with ridge supports on each side, two located in the handle 6 at points 14, and 15, and one located in the lint roller support section 7 at point 16.

Still referring to FIG. 4, in order to form the lint roller holder 1, the housing parts 2, and 3, are position together in a facing relationship as shown in FIG. 4. In doing so an outer peripheral edge 17, on housing part 2, abuts against the outer peripheral edge 18, on housing part 3, forming one handle 6 and one lint roller support section 7.

While referring to FIGS. 2, and 3, the lint roller support section 7 has two different diameters stoppers 4 and 5. The back stopper 4, adjacent to the handle. The forward stopper 4, has a larger diameter than the forward stopper 5, located further down on the lint roller support section at a predetermined distance away from the back stopper 4. Both are used as stoppers for different size lint rolls 43, 44, and 45. The back stopper 4, for use with a large size lint roll 45 when used in conjunction with sleeve, attachment FIG. 7, 27. Forward stopper 5, for use with a small size lint roll 43, when the small size lint roll is trapped between 5, and the built up chamfers 8. When the forward stopper 5, is used in conjunction with attachment, Expansion Ring, FIG. 14, 36, and End Cap FIG. 12, 36, it can support a medium size lint roll 44. The distance from 4, to 5, is approximately ½″.

In reference to FIG. 5, illustrates the outer peripheral edge of 2, and 3. Where 19, 20, 21, of 2, form a right angle cutout and 22, 23, 24 of 3 form a left angle cutout, when the peripheral edges 19, 20, 21, and 22, 23, 24, are seated together they should form one joint that is secured by the pressure from the use of screws tightened to the screw brackets located inside each housing part, 2 and 3.

FIG. 6. Shows a top view of the end of the lint roller support section where there are four built up chamfers 8, located around the end of the lint roller support section two located on housing part 2, 7, and two located on housing part 3, 7. The location of the chamfers are determined by the length of a small lint roll, which is approximately 4″. So therefore the distance between point 5, and 8, would be approximately 4″.

Still referring to FIG. 6, where there are two semi-cylindrical inward protruding cut outs located on each side of the end of the lint roller support section 2, 9, and 3, 9, having approximately the same dimensions as the inner built up edges inside attachment, Sleeve FIG. 9, 30, and inner built up chamfers on Attachment End Cap FIG. 12, 31. So that when either the inner faces of the attachment, Sleeve FIG. 9, 46, or the inner face of attachment, End Cap, FIG. 10, 48, are positioned together with the cut outs at the end of the lint roller support section, the connection between 9, of the lint roller support section 7, and 30, inside of the attachment, sleeve 27, or the connection between 9, of the lint roller support section and 32, of the attachment, End Cap 31, prevent the attachments from rotating around the lint roller support section 7.

Now referring to FIG. 7, 8, 9, an attachment, sleeve 27, of the preferred embodiment of the lint roller holder of the present invention is shown which makes up part of the preferred embodiment of the lint roller holder of the present invention. The attachment, sleeve, is cylindrical, tubular, and hollow with one open end 28 and one closed end 29, the closed end 29, has a slight larger diameter than the diameter of 28. The attachment 27, also has a vertical cliff between 28, and 29, connecting the two varying diameters of 28, and 29, together the vertical cliff between 29, and 28, prevents a large lint roll 45, from sliding off the attachment, sleeve's closed end 29.

FIG. 7, which shows a hole 26, centered on the closed end of 27, which is slightly smaller than the largest size of the locking pin's 39A, oval shaped outward protruding side 41A, adjacent to the pin's head 40A. The locking pin will be described in detail in FIGS. 15, 16, and 17.

Still referring to FIGS. 7, and 9 as well, where there are two circular countersinks 25, located around the outer side of the hole 26, centered on the attachment, sleeve's closed end 29, which allows the head of the locking pin 40A, to sit flush with the end of the closed end when the locking pin's protruding side 41A, when it is completely inserted in to the closed end of the attachment, sleeve 27, and locked in place. The other countersink 47 located around the hole 26 but on the inside base 46, of the closed end 29, which allow the two built up chamfers 42A, located on opposite sides of the locking pin 39A, to sit flush with the inside base 46.

Referring to FIG. 7, shows the attachment, sleeve 27, with the locking pin 39A, that will be permanently locked in place at 26, of 27, the attachment, sleeve is slid longitudinally over the lint roller support section 7, while correctly aligning 30, of 27, and 9, on 7, the lint roller support section until the locking pin's 41A, has fully entered the hole 13, at the end of the lint roller support section and the base 46, of the inner attachment, sleeve 27, sits flush with the outer end of the lint roller support section 7, and the open end of 28, buts up against 4, on the lint roller support section 7.

Therefore, when the attachment, sleeve 27, is correctly positioned over the lint roller support section 7, it will support a large lint roll 45, in which the large lint roll 45 will be secured on the lint roller holder in between point 4, on the lint roller support section 7 and the attachment, sleeve's closed end 29, of attachment, sleeve 27.

FIG. 9. Shows a top view of the inner base of the attachment, sleeve 28, while looking inside the open end of the attachment, sleeve where there are two semi-circular built up ridges 30 on each opposite side of the inner base 46, of the attachment, sleeve 27, that matches the design of the cutouts at the end of the lint roller support section 7, in which 30's primary function serves to prevent the attachment, sleeve 27, from rotating around the lint roller support section 7 while in use.

Referring now to FIGS. 10, 11, and 12, which shows an attachment, End Cap of the preferred embodiment of the lint roller holder of the present invention. The attachment, End Cap 31, is used with attachment, Expansion Ring 36, to support a medium size lint roll 44, on the lint roller support section 7.

Still referring to FIGS. 10, 11, and 12, The Attachment, End Cap 31, which is in a circular disc shape with a predetermined diameter and thickness. FIGS. 10 and 12 both show the base 48, of Attachment, End Cap 31 with two chamfers 32, located on opposite sides of the attachment, End Cap's base 48. The chamfers 32, have an inward offset approximately 3/16″ from the out edge of attachment, End Cap 31, that matches the two inward protruding cutouts 9, at the end of the lint roller support section 7, so that when the two chamfers 32, on the base of attachment, End Cap 31, is inserted onto the lint roller support section 7 and inside of the lint roller support section's cutouts 9, the Attachment, End cap 31, is prevented from rotating around the lint roller support section while in use. When the attachment, End Cap 31 is used in conjunction with attachment, Expansion Ring 36, a medium size lint roll 44, as shown in FIG. 26, 34, can be supported.

Furthermore FIGS. 10, and 11, shows two circular countersinks, one countersink 35, located around the outer side of the hole 33, centered on the attachment, End Cap 31, which allows the head of the locking pin 40B, to sit flush with the outside surface of the attachment, End Cap 31, when the locking pin's protruding side 42B, is completely inserted through the hole 33, of the Attachment, End cap 31, and locked in to place. The other countersink 49, located around the hole 33, but on the inside base 48, of the attachment, End Cap 31, which allow the two built up chamfers 41B, located on opposite sides of the locking pin 39B, to sit flush with the inside base 48, of 31. The reason the two chamfers 41B, need sit flush with the base 48, is so that the chamfers do not interfere with the base 48, of attachment, End Cap 31, from sitting flush against the end of the lint roller support section 7.

Referring now to FIGS. 13, and 14, which shows and attachment, Expansion Ring 36, of the preferred embodiment of a lint roller holder of the present invention. The attachment, Expansion Ring 36, which is a beveled Ring with one side of The Expansion Ring's diameter is slight larger than the other side of The Expansion Ring.

Still referring to FIGS. 13, and 14, the attachment, Expansion Ring 36, has four semi-circled cutouts 37, located on the short side of the attachment, Expansion Ring 36, at predetermined positions that match the chamfers 8, located around the end of the lint roller support section 7. The function of the cutouts on the attachment, Expansion Ring is so that when the attachment, Expansion Ring is longitudinally slid over the lint roller support section 7, the cutout on the attachment, Expansion Ring will be able to slide pass the chamfers 8, on the lint roller support section and continue longitudinally over the lint roller support section 7, until the attachment, Expansion Ring 36, is butted up again 5, on the lint roller support section 7.

Furthermore, the Attachment, Expansion Ring,s 36, function is to assist the attachment, End Cap 31, When a medium size lint roll 44, is slid longitudinally over the lint roller support section 7, with the attachment, Expansion Ring butted up against 5, of the lint roller support section 7, the lint roller is butted up against the attachment, Expansion Ring 36, with the core of the medium size lint roll 44, slightly overlapping the expansion Ring securing one side of the lint roll 44, then when the attachment, End Cap 31, is correctly positioned on the lint roll support section 7, as previously mentioned above. The medium size lint roll will be trapped in between the attachment, Expansion Ring 36, and the attachment, End Cap 31, and enabling the lint roller holder to operate.

FIGS. 15,16, and 17, shows a locking pin 39A, that has a flat surface, circular shaped head 40A, with the thickness of the head equaling the same depth of the counter sink on attachment, sleeve, FIG. 7, 25 of 27, Enabling the locking pin's head 40A, to sit flush with closed end of the attachment, sleeve FIG. 7, 29 of 27, when the locking pin 39A, is completely inserted in to the hole 26, of the attachment, sleeve FIG. 7, 26 of 27.

FIG. 15, shows an elevated side view of the locking pin's 39A, oval shaped side, meaning that the oval shaped side 42A, starts point is adjacent to the two chamfers 41A, on the lower part of the pin and extends to the tip of the oval shaped pin. The diameter of the oval shape side of the pin 42A, at its start point adjacent to 41A, is one diameter and increases approximately to the center of the oval shaped side 42A, and decreases as it reaches the tip. The function of the oval shaped side of the pin is to temporarily lock the attachment, sleeve in place after it is completely inserted into the hole 13, at the end of the lint roller support section 7. The oval shaped pin's tip longitudinally enters the hole 13, and with added pressure applied to the attachment, sleeve 27, the wider portion of the pin passes through the hole 13, then the smaller portion of the pin is inserted until the attachment, sleeve's 27, two built up inner half round ridges are aligned 30 with the two cutouts 9, at the end of the lint roller support section 7, and the inner base 46, sits flush with the end of the lint roller support section 7, the attachment, sleeve 27, is detachably locked in place on the open end of the attachment, sleeve 27, butted up against the large stopper 4, on the roller support section 7. The attachment, sleeve 27, can therefore be removed on or off the lint roller support section to support a large size lint roll 45.

FIG. 17, shows the other side of the pin 42A of 39A which begins at the same start point adjacent to the built up chamfers 41A. Its thickness is approximately 5/16″ wide and continues approximately the same width the total length of the pin 42A, and gradually decreases in width until it matches the width of the tip of the pin's oval shaped diameter.

FIGS. 18, 19, and 20 shows a locking pin 39B, that has a flat surface, circular shaped head 40B, with the thickness of the head equaling the same depth of the counter sink on attachment, End, FIG. 11, 35, of 31, Enabling the locking pin's head 40B, to sit flush with surface on the outer end of the attachment, End Cap, FIG. 11, 31, when the locking pin 39B, is completely inserted in to the hole 33, of the attachment, End Cap 31, FIG. 11, 33.

The diameter of the oval shape side of the pin 42B, at its start point adjacent to 41B, is one diameter and increases in diameter approximately to the center of the oval shaped side 42B, and decreases as it reaches the tip. The function of the oval shaped side of the pin is to temporarily lock the attachment, End Cap 31, in place after it is completely inserted into the hole 13, at the end of the lint roller support section 7. The oval shaped pin's tip longitudinally enters the hole 13, and with added pressure applied to the attachment, sleeve 27, the wider portion of the pin passes through the hole 13, then the smaller portion of the pin is inserted until the attachment, End Cap's 31, two built up chamfers 32, are aligned with the two cutouts 9, at the end of the lint roller support section 7, and the inner base 48, of the attachment, End Cap 31, sits flush with the end of the lint roller support section 7, which will temporarily lock the attachment, End Cap 31, in place on the end of the lint roller support section 7. The attachment, End Cap can therefore be removed on are off to support a medium size lint roll 44, as needed, as long as the attachment, Expansion O-ring 36, is in its proper position butted up against point 5, on the lint roller support section 7.

FIG. 20, shows the other side of the pin 42B, of 39B, which begins at the same start point adjacent to the built up chamfers 41B.

The two chamfers 41B, on both sides of the locking pin 39B, sit flush with the inner base 48, of the attachment, End Cap 31.

FIG. 22, further shows that the inner base 48, of the attachment, End Cap sits flush with the end of the lint roller support section 7, when the locking pin's 39B, is fully inserted into the hole 13, at the end of the lint roller support section 7, and the two built up chamfers 32, on both sides of the attachment, End Cap 31, are correctly position inside of the two cutouts 9, at the top of the lint roller support section 7.

FIG. 23, shows the handle 6 and the lint roller support section of the preferred embodiment of the lint roller holder with a small size roller 43, attached and secured on the lint roller support section 7, between forward rear stopper 5, and the stoppers 8, at the end of the lint roller support section 7.

FIG. 24, shows an elevated exploded assembly view of the all the parts needed for the preferred embodiment of the lint roller holder of the present invention to support a medium size lint roll. It shows The handle 6, The lint roller support section 7, The attachment, expansion Ring 36, and the attachment, End Cap 31.

FIG. 25, shows an elevated assembled view with all the parts needed for the preferred embodiment of the lint roller holder of the present invention to support a medium size lint roll.

The attachment, Expansion Ring 38, has been slid longitudinally over the lint roller support section 7, until it is butted up against the forward stopper 5 on the lint roller support section. The attachment, End Cap 34, is temporary locked in to the hole 13, of the lint roller support section 7, and the chamfers 32, on the attachment, End Cap 34, are inserted into the cutouts 9, on the end of the lint roller support section 7, to prevent the attachment, End Cap 34, from rotating around the lint roller support section 7. At this point the Attachment, End Cap 34, can be removed and a medium size lint roll 44, can be slid longitudinally over the lint roller support section 7, until it is positioned where the core of the medium size lint roll 44, lay slightly over the attachment, Expansion Ring 38, the attachment, End Cap 34, can then be placed back onto the end of the lint roller support section 7, temporary locked in the hole 13, on the lint roller support section 7, where the attachment, End Cap's two chamfers 32, will be positioned so that the two chamfers 32, slightly enters the other side of the core of the medium size lint roll.

FIG. 26, shows an elevated view of all the parts needed to support a medium size lint roll 44, with the lint roll 44, secured between the attachment, Expansion Ring 38, and the attachment, End Cap 34, so that the lint roller holder in the present configuration can be used to roll across a surface and remove lint and debris.

FIG. 27, shows an elevated exploded configuration view of both of the parts needed to support a large size lint roll. It shows the handle 6, the lint roller support section 7, and the attachment, sleeve 27, with the locking pin permanently locked into the attachment, sleeve 27.

FIG. 28, shows an elevated view of the handle 6, and the attachment, sleeve 27, with the locking pin 39A, permanently locked into the end of the attachment, sleeve 27. Since the attachment's open end is butted up against the lint roller support section's back stopper 4, the attachment, sleeve 27, should already be temporarily locked into place with the locking pin 39A, completely inserted in to the hole 13, of the lint roller support section 7, and the built up ridges 30, on the inner base 46, of the attachment, sleeve 27, should already be inserted into the side cutouts on the end of the lint roller support section 7, to prevent the attachment, sleeve 27, from rotating around the lint roller support section 7.

Still referring to FIG. 28, the attachment, sleeve can now be removed off the lint roller support section and a large lint roll 45, can be slid on to the attachment, sleeve 27, and placed back on to the lint roller support section.

FIG. 29, shows an elevated view of both parts need to support a large size lint roll 45. It shows the handle 6, and the attachment, sleeve 27, placed longitudinally over the lint roller support section with a large lint roll 45, which was first slid over the attachment, sleeve 27, before both the attachment 27, and the large lint roll was placed over the lint roller support section 7, and temporarily locked into place on the lint roller support section 7. The lint roller holder in the present configuration can now support a large lint roll and be used to roll across a surface and remove lint and debris.

Having described my invention, it can be seen that the present invention is able to support more than one size lint roll, but multiple sizes and easy to use because of its unique design. However, many modifications thereto will become apparent to those of skill in the art to which it pertains without deviation from the spirit of the invention, as defined by the scope of the appended claims.
